YC DGYCASI 16mm Pickleball Paddles Professional, 2025 USAPA Approved T700 Carbon Fiber Surface Pickle Paddle(CFS), Polypropylene Lightweight Honeycomb Core, Cushion Comfort Grip, with Cover Case Black

I'm a seasoned racquet sports player who has taken up pickleball seriously for the past 6 months. I own over a dozen paddles, and enjoy playing with the various types and sizes.My first impression made me want to return this DGYCASI MAX, but happy I didn't. From my very first handshake I did not like its 4.5" circumference handle, especially its pronounced beveled edges. The tennis converts I know love a fatter handle, but my main sports have been racquetball, table tennis, paddleball, and squash. Therefore, when playing pickleball, a 4.125" to 4.25" grip is much more comfortable in my hand. But the advertised description does say it is a 4.5" grip, so no deception on the company's part. What swayed me to purchase were the great reviews, the high-quality components of the racquet (especially the Toray-700 raw carbon fiber), and the bargain price (especially on Amazon Prime Day).Determined to give the MAX a proper tryout, I decided to apply a very thin overgrip to the handle. Despite increasing its thickness slightly, it smoothed out the edges. Thus, the handle became more rounded, and therefore more plush feeling and easier to hold, like most of my other racquets. So, with renewed vigor, I headed to the courts with my latest customized weapon.From every aspect, the DGYCASI MAX did not disappoint. It looks and feels like a solidly built item. The paddle surfaces are nice and gritty, enhancing my ability to produce excellent topspin on my drives and serves. Sidespin and underspin shots were also effective. The racquet had pop, but was plush enough to make my dinks, blocks, and 3rd shot drops cooperate. Overall, the paddle reminded me of a more powerful Vatic Pro Prism Flash. So, it's a keeper!I should mention that bundled into the price is a neoprene logoed cover. That's a nice bonus, especially since many expensive racquets (like the $250 Joola Perseus or Selkirk Vanguard Power Air Invikta, for example) do not include one (except for an extra charge).However, I do have a minor quibble with the DGYCASI cover. It was a very tight fit, even after my gentle tugging at the corners and stretching on the sides.I checked, and the DGYCASI MAX is definitely approved by USA Pickleball for sanctioned tournament play. I would rate this paddle a solid 4.5 stars, which I am rounding to a 5, based on the company's caring and timely customer support. The owner, YC, contacted me personally to address my questions and concerns. This shows me that DGYCASI, as a company, is concerned about its reputation and clientele. They seem fully vested in the future growth of pickleball, and according to YC will continue to produce quality and value-priced racquets based on customer feedback.

I have used several beginner paddles ranging from ($20-30) and was ready for a slight upgrade. I found this paddle on sale for $50. I didn’t want to buy something super nice yet as I am a beginner / intermediate player.When the paddle arrived, I was moved by how beautiful and sleek it looked. It also felt light and the grip felt high quality in my hand. This is an objective upgrade from my previous paddles for a great price if you can find it on sale.I love the carbon fiber top on it especially. I have been practicing a lot lately and this paddle is helping me take my game to the next level. I also get lots of compliments on the paddle cover. It’s convenient to use as a case for my phone and keys while playing.

Muy buena , cliente satisfecho

I was looking for this type of paddle but I hesistant to invest in those more expensive and common paddles. Also, my skills is still not worthy of a $200 paddle. This paddle looks like one of those but at a more affordable price.The paddle seems to be well built. A very good quality paddle. The cover is of good quality as well.Coming from using a Diadem Icon, this paddle has a little less power but has more control. I have used the paddle a few times and I felt that I am able to control the ball more and place it where I want.The cons of this paddle is that the face easily attracts dirt after each use. I guess this is common for this type of material because I have seen similar paddles that are dirty. But it can be easily be cleaned with one of those sandpaper belt eraser cleaner.I am very happy with this paddle.Update : Need to take 1 star off this review. First, the paddle does not come with a USAPA Approved marking. Even the product description says it's USAPA approved. Due to this, I was not able to use the paddle in tournaments. Second, I ended up replacing the grip. The paddle came with a ridge style grip. I replaced it with a smooth, ridge-less grip.

First off, see image -- this paddle was approved by USAPA on 7/2/2023. Spin is great. I can bend a serve completely off the court and into the side fence or deep, heavy topspin serves that kick hard towards the back fence causing serve return errors by my opponents. Dinks are soft. Drops go where and how I want them to. Resets are soft. Drives are wicked (controllable with topspin). Maneuverability is good for hands battles. This paddle is a screaming bargain at under $100. I also love my XSPAK. The DGYCASI is slightly stiffer than the XSPAK:Spin DGYCASIPower DGYCASIDinks TIEDrops TIEDrives TIEResets XSPAKHand battles DGYCASIHappy pickling.

Ordered this paddle because of it’s ratings and it arrived in less than 24 hours in perfect shape. I gave it a try this morning and the spin it gives the balls is a whole new world to me. I’m not a pro at all, but the texture on this paddle is amazing. I find it’s very well done. The handle is super comfortable and well finished, as is the border around the paddle. It’s snug and nothing about this paddle is flimsy. That’s for sure! The neoprene cover that comes with it is well done and I’m glad for it. Had a question for the company and received a courteous and prompt answer. So great customer service as well.

I had a lot of hope for this paddle based on reviews. But this paddle seems to vibrate a lot more than I would expect, and the edge/face of the paddle scuff up easy. It did have a nice cover and arrived on time, but not sure I can handle the vibration. Not sure if I got unlucky with this paddle, or overall issue.‐----- Update -----Seller reached out to me after my review in record time to resolve my issue. They corrected my issue and offered a new paddle as it seems the one I received was faulty. Great customer service on their end. Good and refreshing to see a company standing behind their product

Quick delivery and good price

So I just picked up pickleball in the last 6 months. I don't normally write reviews but had to for this one. My wife and I bought the Costco combo pack of entry level Selkirk paddles. They were good for what they were but thought it was time to upgrade as I really enjoy the game. I wanted a paddle with more spin capability. I dont care about raw power, its about placement of the ball for me. Searched a list of best spin rackets in 2023 but also wanted a good price. I'm not spending over 200.00 on a racket no matter what. This racket came up number 6 on the spin list and was on sale and an Amazon choice. Read the reviews which were mostly positive so bought it. I tried it for the first time yesterday and let me tell you, i was shocked. I was hard spinning shots from 12 oclock to 6 oclock just over the net hard or to back of court on far lobs. It almost feels like im catching the ball with this racket. The abrasive surface spins the ball incredibly well. The handle is also half an inch longer than my previous one which is huge for my hand size.. feels great. The head itself is twice as thick as mine but still feels the same weight or lighter. My buddy who we play against is going to buy one i think as he was impressed with it as well. All in all for the price and what i was looking for, this racket is fantastic.

excellent racquet for experience players. Good value at half price

This paddle has it all. Thermoformed, carbon fibre face, and even a nice cover. Light weight, great feel, good spin and a nice punch, while still being soft enough for gentle returns.Exactly as advertised on the site. I would recommend this paddle and make this purchase again!K

Great pickleball paddle.Really changed me game.
